This 4-ingredient guacamole recipe has a fresh taste that you will never find in a grocery store. This recipe uses fresh avocado, lime, diced tomatoes, and green onions. It’s super easy and completely authentic! Ok, it does have kosher salt and pepper, which I never count as a “ingredients”.
The cafeteria ladies at my school made homemade guacamole and fresh salsa a couple of times a week. Since most of them were born in Mexico, they know Salsa and guacamole. I can eat salsa like soup, which I guess is technically Gazpacho! This recipe is straight from their “cucina”.
What you’ll need for this 4-ingredient guacamole recipe
This simple recipe has just four ingredients (not including salt and pepper), but can be jazzed up with cilantro,
- Fresh avocado
- Lime juice for flavor and to help keep the guacamole from turning brown.
- Diced tomatoes.
- Green onions
- Kosher salt, fresh black pepper. Do spices count as an ingredient?
Optional:
- Fresh cilantro
- Jalapeños for a bit of heat.
- Finely chopped white onions or red onion.
- A pinch of ground cumin
How to make fresh guacamole
Halve and dice the avocado while it’s still in the shell. Then scoop out the chunks.
- Fresh Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. I gently smoosh some of the avocados, but I like it a bit chunky.
- Season to taste with a pinch of cumin, salt and pepper. Add more lime juice if desired.
- Refrigerate. Keep the pit in the guacamole to keep it bright green. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic touches every surface of the guacamole.
